| BACKGROUND: |
On October 13, 2014, a Drainage Easement was executed by Robin's Ridge Development, LLC, (Grantor) in favor of Escambia County (Grantee). The Drainage Easement was recorded on November 25, 2015, in OR Book 7441 at Page 82 in the Official Records of Escambia County by the Grantor. This Drainage Easement was not brought before the Board of County Commissioners of Escambia County nor was the Drainage Easement accepted by the Board. Escambia County is not confirming that it ever had any interest in the Drainage Easement dated October 13, 2014.
To correct the previous Easement that was not Board approved, on August 9, 2017, an overlapping Drainage Easement over the previous Easement was executed by Robin's Ridge Development, LLC, (Grantor) in favor of Escambia County (Grantee). This Drainage Easement was accepted by the Board of County Commissioners of Escambia County on September 7, 2017, and was recorded on September 14, 2017, in OR Book 7777 at Page 476 in the Official Records of Escambia County.
In September 2019, the Petitioner purchased the property located at the 7200 Block of Hilburn Road. The Petitioner has met with the Development Review Committee and has submitted plans for a residential development containing 81 lots (Cardinal Cove) with access from Hilburn Road to Burgess Road. The vacation of these two Drainage Easements will allow the Petitioner to develop the petition area and place a new drainage system on the property.
Engineering's Stormwater Management Section and Public Works commented on the Hilburn pond outfall. Cardinal Cove is currently under construction and the new outfall system from Hilburn Grove is nearing completion.
Public Safety and the Environmental Department did not have any concerns with vacating this existing Easement.
There are no utility company concerns with this Petition to Vacate. |
